HUNGER makes perfect sauce

Michael Clark says about his first experience covering the 2008 Patagonia expedition race in his spring 2008 newsletter. In old school Vietnam vernacular, we had just been dropped “into the shit.” … We were bogged down pretty fast as soon as we entered the Valley of Death.
